as we seem to live in a area that has dips in the mains that's enough

been on all day wasting power, or would it be better if I installed a
separate PIR and floodlight

The separate PIR's are very expensive, several times the cost of a light

Toolstation do them for a tenner.

Well that is more expensive than an integrated PIR 500W halogen piece of
****e from the sheds:-)

You could feed the light from a separate photo cell

But these also cost more than the original light.
